Trade Mark Ingram for David Johnson? (1 Viewer)

[sandman98]

12 team redraft, 0.5ppr. otherwise standard espn scoring. start 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1flex, 1te, defense, k.

currently have:

qb: newton, alex smith

rb: zeke, melvin gordon, ingram, buck allen, derrick henry

wr: stefon diggs, e. sanders, chris hogan, d. funchess

te: travis kelce

currently 3-1, and i'm leaning toward making the trade--thinking stretch run would be pretty awesome with DJ as my rb3/flex. only thing holding me up is the question about zeke elliott's suspension. anyone think i'm strong enough to use either buck allen or derrick henry as an rb2 for a six week stretch in the middle of the season (if elliott forced to sit)?

I wouldn't be surprised if DJ doesn't play at all this year.  I wouldn't be looking to trade for him at this point.  Arizona is going down a hill a bit and if they are out of contention I don't see them risking their franchise player on meaningless end of year games.  I wouldn't make that trade but it has more to do with I don't think Johnson will play this year.

If Zeke goes down you are screwed. I think DJ will be back unless the Cardinals totally fall apart before his return but can clearly see Gally being correct about it also. Hard to see dropping any of your guys for any of Zeke's handcuffs but you could make it work with a modicum of safety if you drop Henry or Funchess for DMC or Morris.

I wouldnt do it.  I think there is a good chance that DJ doesnt play again this season.  Arizona is 2-2 and could drop some of their next games.  If the team is out of it when he is nearling health, I would expect they sit him down.   If this is a keeper league and you can keep DJ, then I would probably do it because you would get the benefit next year.

Please answer my question:
